Unlocking premium characters you have bought

There seems to be a little bit of confusion as to how in-app purchases are unlocked in Minigore and when it can be done. Let me walk you through the process.

You can reunlock any premium characters you have already purchased for free and you can do it right away. That is to say iTunes won't charge you twice for downloading the same content. Use the "BUY NOW" button to unlock your premium character and when asked for your credentials, log in with the same iTunes account you used to make the original purchase. iTunes will then tell you have already bought this content and can download it for free.

Please note that for anyone who is running Episode 3.7, Minigore will not be able to create a save file and will have all the characters locked again the next time you start the time.

The fix is already implemented and we are now working on ways to make up for lost data. The update will be submitted in the next few days. Thanks for your patience and understanding, folks! Again, truly sorry about the data loss.

I'm pretty pissed right now, those 20 000 free kills won't help much when we're talking about 200 000 kills. And I hope that those even better updates really are good updates, more new enemies, possibly more playing modes, more characters etc. You got to work hard to satisfy all these angry fans, including me.

It's always waiting... waiting... waiting... This shit is taking to long, where's multiplayer btw, waiting almost a year now...Also this isn't the first time a update didn't work well, amateurs...You guys suck!

All forgiven. You promised EVEN BETTER updates. And I can have my paid contents back without paying again. Tank you! Thank you very much!

To show you, how grateful I am... I made the decision to start a Mountain Sheep Team fansite.We need private photos of you, your families and your pets! If someone could please post this stuff, please all over the internet, so we can use it?

Hmm i wonder why people are so angry.. it's just a game or am i missing somthing and for a very small price hmmm. Love the game sad for the bug but since you fixed it it's oki.If i would compare the anger people have towards this small issue.. hmmm Microsoft, Apple and all other big developers wouldn't dare to make new products if you look at the amount of bugs in there products... Get real people.. please. Be happy that we get rather good games for a small price.

They are not going to help you. You have no PROOF for this count. That is what they said about this problem. You are supposed to be a CRIMINAL. A LIAR. You are trying to betray them. (Did you see? - The update was ruined by implementing new copy protection. In the end we are ALL CRIMINALS to them.)

@Anonymous. Yes, you are missing something:1. It took real time to accumulate those points.2. Not all of us are children with lots of time to spend.3. There is no excuse for destroying user data.4. They just refuse to give sufficient compensation.

No, there would be no excuse if they sent little demons intentionally destroy your data, but it was a simple oversight on the teams side. Sure, it's bloody annoying, but it's a mistake. Shit happens. And two weeks, it'll probably be done in days, and Apple just won't release it for weeks.

Also, IF there'll be a way to get past scores from OF, and you didn't use it, I repeat: shit happens. If that's the only way to get back data, what could you possibly expect? Magic? A hug?

Do you know why they refuse to unlock the avatars from the start?They say this would kill the reason to continue playing.BUT:In the iPad version all avatars are unlocked from the start!Strange, isnt it?

Yes it did take real time, I was on about 100,000 but there doing there best to fix this fuck up. It's a mistake buries also a amazing game and their doing there best to fix it. As for unlocking all the avatars it would ultimatley ruin the point in playing and therefore the Funness.You guys fucked up, but well done for fixing it asap. Well done :) x

@Anonymus: The iPad version is "ultimately ruined" and without fun. We have to warn all people planning to buy this iPad game. Thanks for this useful information (not totally buried under a heap of lies.)@Alpha: Oh yes. Deleting a smaller amount of user data every few days instead of instantly killing work of three months would be more human, I guess.

But really, it was an honest mistake. I couldn't have been foreseen. However, I would like to propose an idea as compensation for lost data. How about for a limited time offering the dlc for free? BUT, there's a catch. How about having to spend points in order to unlock them, lets say, 1,500,000 for gangster gore and so on (of course those who have paid won't need to).

Sure people who have already paid would be upset, but to be realistic more people haven't bought the dlc than those who have. It is always better the over compensate than to not compensate enough, right?

I really am looking forward to more updates, especially the multiplayer. Keep up the good work!

MountainSheep what the fuck are you doing?You announced 3 games (MiniGore,HardGore,The Projectx something about cars)And you cannot even make 1 normal game.LOL do you really think if you take 3 months for an update you will be able to release the two others sooner than in 100 years?PeaceCybertox

Hi, it's Cybertox again. My parents saw my last comment and they weren't to happy with what I said. So they have decided to beat me with dildos and toasters for the next month. I forgot to mention I am openly gay. I make softcore porno in my bathroom. I like the Prius, it's tiny, I like tiny. I will always support gay rights.I'm Gay,Cybertox

I've been working damn hard to get the last and final character. Do you know HOW many kills I had? 438,000 (averaged) kills! You have no idea how I feel right now. I put SO much effort into it, repeating and repeating the same monotonous gameplay.

That's just it. I have no desire to play this game now. And obviously, you can't return my damn kills. I've never been so disappointed.

Write mails to Apple and Chillingo - pointing out there has been poisonous software been left in the app store willingly - day after day. Tell Apple you do not feel safe in app store anymore. Tell Apple you are starting to think about jailbreaking - to make copies of your data. Tell Chillingo you will not buy any of their anymore.Ask your lawyer. In some countries laws may be on your side.

Warn people from buying the iPad version. Mountain Sheep says: without unlockable characters there is no reason for repeated playing anymore; but the iPad version already comes with all characters unlocked.

New gamplay!? Talk about wiping all characters so people have to start from scratch. Gaming experience fresh again? Yeah if you're some retard who takes pleasure in doing the same shit all over again. Then yeah, the gaming experience did get fresh again!

There you have it people! These sons and daughters of bitches orchestrated this entire fucking cock up!

I wonder how many of you know that mountain sheep's beta testers got a different version of minigore than what was publicly released. So for those of ou who are saying "how did they overlook this bug?", it's easier than it might seem. Please don't blame MS and Im sure they can find some way to restore our stuff reasonably. They have always been awesome devs in the past and they are still the same people they were before the update.

Hey guys remember this. IT IS ALWAYS BETTER THAN NOTHING!If you think they didn't give you enough kill as a compensation. Don't play it if you kill saying you are disappointed why you keep playing.

What do you expect MS do? Give you all the character. That is unreasonable. About some people didn't use OF I am sorryabout you too. But MS guys just don't know anything about you data without get in touch with OF. You see they are trying.

IT IS ALWAYS BETTER THAN NOTHING!

One again this blog is for us to express our opinion of the game. For us to suggest idea to make it better. But yu guys are just keep saying all the F words and negative stuff. That's not helping at all

People do stuff better when you support them. How would you feel when you make mistake and people keep saying F you and stuff.

Losing all of my kills wasn't too bad since I wasn't TOO far (only got the bear) but I bought gangster gore and he's gone, he was my favorite.. and now apparently it doesn't save kills after you exit the game? I am NOT going to play this straight until I get 1,000,000 kills and if it's not just me, I doubt many other people will as well.

Hi, Cybertox again. My parents are beating me with toasters now. The dildo beating starts next week. Anyway, I just made a softcore porno with Symbolist on Touch Arcade. We both like the size of our small dicks, and how we have similar problems with MiniGore. I just wish I was more gay then I am right now.Peace,Cybertox

Ok guys, just stop whining. All you that say that you didn't use openfeint, what do you want them to do? If you can come up with a feaseable idea that doesn't include giving people who have probably done no work (like me) all the characters, then you can whine and complain on here all you want.

Actually if we don't argue and stir things up a bit, what incentive would they have to keep things down. I'm only saying this because I heard from quite a few people that this is NOT the first time, in fact it's the THIRD time. However, if that's not true then I take back what I've said.

@Anonymus: Why not give a gift to those who did no work if the alternative way is to punish those who did? Are we all masochistic lovers of punishment? You can have for free what I have worked for, you freak - as long as the fruit of my work is not stolen from me! I am not a ratracer like you!

They should just unlock Sensei E for everyone, it would make it easier for us to unlock other characters with Sensei E.

For the few individual who said they wouldn't mind spending hours and hours unlocking all the characters again, you're not speaking for the majority of us. I had all except Sensei unlocked and about +350,000 kills but I stopped playing Minigore because it got too repetitive. Seriously it takes a long ass time to rack up enough kills to unlock all the characters.

Also, for the people who are saying "oh we spend hours unlocking Sensei so it would be fair to just make him available to everyone". Please keep things simple so MS can release the patch sooner and we all can have some fun.....isnt that the ultimate goal?

If this is more... practical:Mountain Sheep could make Sensei DLC for 5 Dollar (maybe a limited time), or so. It always was a problem of real time I spent accumulating those points! I am not a kiddie. I do not have the time to do it again. It took me since last Xmas to collect them. It was never a money related problem! If I have no opportunity to regain my points or a equivalent I will just lose every power to play this game. And I will never forgive my time was wasted by a little developer named Mountain Sheep handling me like a thief, asking for a "proof" I can not bring.

as well as being openly gay i just sliced off my choad and now i just suck the blank spot where it used to be. My fat ball sack also fell off so i just deep throat that when i don't feel like sucking my choadless spot.peacecybertrox

DLC being free is a shit idea. You would effectively be rewarding people who never cared in the first place. It's like if Hercules just helped the lazy bastard who got his wheel stuck in the mud and couldn't care less to put his shoulder to it(which was the case in the story anyway).

Sensei Evan being unlocked is not a great idea either. For some it would totally kill the fun of Minigore. They would say, that since they spent months playing to unlock this guy, having him suddenly free makes it no longer worthwhile. And for those whiners that they it's a terrible idea because they spent months working to get him and did finally get him. There is an excellent analogy on Toucharcade.If you worked a year to get $80,000 and someone won that in a lottery or gameshow. Most regular decent folks would be happy for the guy and not descend into a seething angry mass of crap.

I think the suggestion to have a box to key in a one time kill count is the best idea I've heard. Sure you're gonna get the people who've never stepped into high school saying they got 2,000,000 kills. But the regular decent folk who CAN ACTUALLY BUY DLC would most probably just put in their last kill count or an approximation of it. Maybe one or two would put in 1,000,000 out of frustration and just unlock Sensei Evan, but that would be cheating, how they sleep well at night cheating a .99 cents game is beyond me.

And to the morons who cannot say anything constructive other than "Quit whining, and get a life!" Why don't you take you take your own damned advice? How are you being helpful here? If anything, you're only contributing to the mess of spam and hate. Seriously, gtfo.

Thanks for the great game mountiansheep. It is a credit to you that so many people are annoyed; it shows how much they love the game.

I am disappointed that I lost my characters (had all but sensei), but I am confident that you are working hard on making a fix, so I will not complain, especially since I don’t even know exactly what your planning. May God bless you all.

First of all: I'm from Spain and my english is too poor.I've loose my kills and my unlocked characters. I don't use Openfeit and I cannot recover this data so I'm not happy with that. The MS people have make a mistake, they are humans (I supose¬.¬'), we mjst undestand.I don't think that unlocking all characters is a good idea, so the game will loose all fun.This is only a game, a little game to enjoy. Hence, If you like this game, enjoy it and reunlock the characters another time and have fun doing it.At last: people, think about you've writen here, some comments are too unespectable and full of innecessary insults. Be polite and be human, we must respect ourself and try to forgive some mistakes, you make mistakes too.

why not just let people enter how many kills they have and just give it to them. for those that have unlocked sensei they can get it back and for those who haven't they won't lose the fun trying to unlock him. if they want to cheat its their own problem since they lose the fun of the game right?

@Alex: You do not think they could just create another goal? A new weapon, a character, an enemy, a playmode, a map (maybe just new textures? Maybe just a fire or a statue or a special tree in the middle of the map?)@Anonymus: In an ideal world this would be the best resolution. Everyone enters for a single time the number of lost points and lying punishes itself by taking fun out like cheating always does. The problem is: Too many kiddies would misuse it and 90 percent of the players will be in the no fun-state, which would ultimately kill the game for Mountain Sheep.

Kimmo and the rest of MS, this is very off topic but I was just playing Minigore and thought of this simple yet very useful addition you should add to the game. I like I believe many others are, don't always care about their score but rather how many kills they have while ones playing the game. So could you possibly add the feature that if while playing the game you tap on your score at the top of the screen the score will change to your kill count for the current game your playing, and vice versa. I think this would be a very useful feature that would most likely be easy to implement. Thanks!

It will be interseting to see how MS go about giving kills to people. i had around 150 000 kills, not as many as some, but still took me a while to get. i think poeple have to prepare for the fact that some people aren't going to get their way here, but what we have to remember is that MS will do what they, as the developers of the game, think is the best way to go. i feel very sorry for them at the moment, they have been putting in a ton of work to make minigore such a great game on the app store (from the blog posts and time they seem to be working on updates),and such a small error in the code that they missed has caused such problems. i think for us as the fans we need to be supportive of the team as they try to fix the problem and get back on track with future updates. throwing around rude and hurtful comments is gonna solve nothing and only start fights, lets support MS and the decisions that they choose to make with this. Thanks to all the guys at mountain sheep who put in so much time and effort to create and expand such a great game, you have my full support through this troublesome time. MINIGORE ROCKS!!!!!!

@Tim:"Very sorry for them": I feel only sorry for the users.A "ton of work"? Painting snow textures for the one single map?"Small error in the code"? The error was caused by murky implementation of new copy protection.

me and my friend were smacking dicks together and my parents caught us so they beat my friend with a blow up sex toy and shoved an amputated ball sack up my butt. We were just making some porn and got a little too into it thats all and anyways our dicks our really too small to do any real damagepeacecybertrox

any idea when this will be submitted and are you going to try to add somthing new to it before you submit it? and btw it would be nice if you could leave little updates every now and then like when minigore first started, but i understand youre probably busy as well thanks

just wanted to say how much of a cunt i am. i don't fuck cunts, i am a cunt, come lick my cunt and fuck me til' i squirt. that's all i'm good for, squirting cunt juice. would you like a glass? it's only 0.98, marginally cheaper than crapgore.ginger love-----Elliohow

Hi guys! I'm not Alex, but I'm a mate of his. He doesn't want me telling you this. But despite him acting all cool and mature and telling people to get a life. He doesn't have one! Shocking? Not really, his penis is about the size of a stubby pinky that got lopped off in a bad accident. This is his only avenue to look cool, go easy on him alright guys?

He really has quite a sad story, his mom dropped him when he was a kid too. So occasionally he thinks the people who provided the wonder device to play a game are bastards and that telling people on an online comment column to get a life somehow makes him seem like he has a life.

Again, just hope you guys will take it easy on him. He cried for 4 hours the last time someone bullied him on a forum. FOUR HOURS! CAN YOU IMAGINE? I'd say he's a wanker, but I'm his friend. So I can't.

Come on now you silly boy! Don't go insulting those nice people who've only been speaking the truth here on this terrible blog. I taught you better than this! Why are you disappointing me and on such a public place to boot! I'm going to ground you for a week, starting from right now, no more iPhone, no more T.V. and especially no more Doll House Tea Party for you. I raised you to be a boy! I never asked for Lady Gaga.

And although Alexander might have spilled the beans on your small penis and my bad parenting, I think he was only looking out for you. I want you to drop by his place and thank him later this evening.

And don't think this is over either, I already told your dad, and he's going to be coming down hard on you since you broke your promise about playing with Barbie and stripping Ken down in your Doll House Tea Party.

What am I going to do with you? Perhaps the orphanage might reconsider the proposal I had for them the day you were born.

Alex, we all know you're a little pityfull child, with no life, who want to suck mama's niples all day long.Acting like you know sth about other people, who are angry about the things, that happened with the game, you call retards with no life?!Just to be proud of yourself because you made a boner first time and think you got a life?You always will be a little crying baby!

Even if it did take real time to gather up kills and even if you did buy the DLC and are too retarded to know how to get it back, who gives a shit? It's a goddamn game. Yes, its a game, with animated characters, and little character skins to unlock. Sure, I got up to Sensei, but it's not like I played it nonstop, I did it in small sessions when I got bored.

I'm just gonna replay through it when MS get the fix released. I'll have fun trying to gather kills with the new character DLC's, and when I get bored, I'll put it down and maybe play it again later. Seriously, it's just a game.

However, I do feel that MS is taking too long on the updates. Mountain Sheep, if you are telling your fanbase that updates are coming, actually work on them. I've made a few games with C++ and it doesn't take 3 months to do. Let alone an update to a previously coded app. You should be grateful you have such a large audience, and working your asses off, like Bolt Creative does. And if you want to do something else other than make free updates to Minigore, at least tell your fanbase rather than convince them that an update is right around the corner.

Once again, I'm fine with losing the kills (I could just get them back with itunes by not backing up, but who cares), but I'm upset with the update times.

ok guys im srry for all the stupid comments ive been posting and the ridiculous insults ive been coming back with. IM still gonna use this blog but not for this useless hate stuff ive been posting. I mean seriously mountain sheep isn't learning anything from this so maybe we should use this blog for its original purpose. sorry again and if u keep insulting me i will just ignore you (btw i deleted everything i said earlier that was stupid

i think anyone who posts here (even the immature whiners) deserve some respect for going to mountain sheep's blog site to state their views. the ones i really hate are the clueless people who leave horrible reviews in the appstore before even coming here to see what's going on.

I just finished humping my hello kitty doll and boy did it feel good! I need somewhere to wipe my cock off though, o wait, nvm problem solved, my mouth is a good cum cleaner.Bye guys, off to smear my gunk over my face because I know it's real good face cream!PeaceORIGINALCybertox

LOL i just hate people using others names and write something stupid.This is not a fucking kindergarden so that is not funny!@Seems there is not much difference. Both Cybertoxes grew up in the same toilet?No you are wrong you forget that you grew up in toilet with the faggot cybertox the other Cybertox that normal is was not there.

i was humping my hello kitty doll again and my penis got stuck. I pulled and pulled and eventually my dad had to slice it off with his teeth (but he sucked on it for a little while before and got all the cum out). Hopefully it will grow back soon cause my dad hasn't been able to suck my dick for a while and my hello kitty doll's ass has been empty for a while.peacecybertrox

ok guys seriously this stuff can be funny but can't u do it somewhere else? I mean facebook and twitter are for pereverted comments this blog is for imrpoving the game so please stop these stupid pervert comments annd use it for its real purpose

anon above is right. U guys complain about updates not having the stuff u wanted and maybe thats cos the only feedback they get is this perverted crap. Mountain sheep just try and listen to the people with real stuff to say and ignore the pedo's and pervs

all the comments about how everything is funny. it's supposed to be funny you dumb twats! vulgar language is always funny!

but you know what's better? those comments about getting a life. LOL they really crack me up! tweens telling angry people on a blog that they should get a life. they really need to take their own advice! they typed out a whole message to tell people to get a life. ROFLCOPTER! hypocrites much?

alright u freakin retards just stop this idiot comments once and for all alright? u fags wonder why the updates don't have what u wanted in them and thats probably shown above with ur stupid comments so just stop it fuckers

fuck you all motherfuckers! your daddy eats fecal matter for a living while your mom is a contortionist in a circus eating her cunt all day long! FUCK YOU! VULGAR LANGUAGE IS AWESOME! FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK BITCHES! EVERYONE ABOVE THIS POST IS A FAGGOT MOTHERFUCKER BITCH CUNT COCKSUCKER PROSTITUTE WHORE TOWN BICYCLE CADAVER HUMPING RETARD!

anonymous abovethe fags just above u were probably always like that and the fact that they can remain anonymous and no one will know its them must have brought it out so dont worry its fun and awesome and this blog is full of these retards so don't listen to them.

somebody earlier said that the new update was going to be out by next friday. Is there any confirmation of this? i mean that would be awesome because its not the people at mountain sheep who keep us waiting its those freaking bastards at apple who take forever to approve it

i got the same question as anon above cos mountain sheep if u can accomplish that then i will have my trust compeletely redeemed and i wil become a living advertisement for minigore by recommending it to every single person i know. GO MOUNTAIN SHEEP!

err if apple are bastards like all you retards say they are, then err care to enlighten me why it is you use their device?

don't use their stuff to play minigore then. o wait i forgot! you NEED APPLE to play minigore. roffle roffle. instead of telling mountainsheep to gogogo. maybe you morons should teach mountainsheep how to blow the apple qc folks so their next shitty update gets approved quickly.peacecybertox

anyone wanna smack cocks together later? my dad bought me a dildo since my old dick broke off in a hello kitty doll. But watch out my parents sometimes wanna join in and there a little intense. Just slap them with ur ball sack if they do thatpeacecybertrox

Fun? By playing Minigore? Are you crazy? Do you have any idea how simple minded and unintelligent the gameplay is? It was hard work to collect the kills for reaching a goal! A mountain troll in a land very very far away took away this work fruits. Then... there was only desperation and destruction left...

if you dont enjoy playing it what the hell is the point? you think the fact that you killed 500,000 furries matters at all? big deal, i unlocked Xmas Gore! i have purpose! this is a good reason to play this game! thats a very stupid mentality.

I'm as pissed off as everyone else. okay probably not that pissed off, it's only $6 or whatever it ended up costing after I purchased all the in-game content.

The absolute last thing i want is your team to feel disheartened about this accident and quit moving this title forward. I absolutely love it and hopefully you will take the passion people are displaying on these comments as validation of your impact. You don't see me posting demands for my money back from the brain-toot developers. because I dont care enough.

Minigore is a fantastic game, now that you guys have triaged the issued that caused the data loss i'm sure you wont do it again. but i'm also sure you will keep making fantastic updates to this great game.

really looking forward to future updates MS, i have a lot of faith that this game is gonna keep growing for a heck of a long time. can't wait for episode 4 to come out, there looks like there is gonna be a ton of content in that one. woot for Mountain Sheep. keep up the good work!!!

@AndyFitz: Could you please tell us all about those "fantastic updates". What was it? What did they contain? - Will those "fantastic updates" become existing in our time and space, too once? You really saw those "fantastic updates" with your own... sensors? And how is it your parallel universe? Do you have to eat and to sleep, too? Does time warp make you seasick? What about parallel Angelina Jolie? Does she have eight fingers on each foot? Is she furry?

ok arnold so every update there was something wrong. OK1.0 Hmm nothing here ok2.0 Oh freeze screen update, no big deal no characters to worry about.2.5 no bugs or problems.3.0 Amazing update with new stuff. again no bugs3.5 Yet another update no bugs.3.6 Character Traits and again no bugs.3.7 Save Game file bug but if you bypass that its amazing aswell

cheez you havent been around for a while it took forever for episode 1.1 because apple found lots of bugs they got rejected twice and although it was apples fault for not notifying them sooner they still had a buggy game so get your facts before you start mouthing off with your minigore facts

I guess Apple should also be blamed for this catastrophe. Clearly it shows that Apple only tested EP 3.7 once, approves it and didn't bother to retest it again with the saved game thus they missed the bug. Or they installed the app on a new test phone/account whatever. No saved game there. What bollocks!
